The Green Flower
Oil & Oil Pastel on Paper.
Size: 50 W x 70 H cm
Harrison and I had a mission to complete. A guy coming to give us instructions. He gave me a flower made from what looked like marzipan. Green stem and green twisting petals. I was to give it to two people who were sitting in the living room eating their breakfast. I left my bowl in the hallway, entered, shared the flower with them and went back for my bowl that had an imitation of the flower on top to fool them. They ate and I began watching them slowly die. I was concerned that one of them hadn't had enough. From this point, one of the people had been replaced by an audio recorder in a ziplock bag that was playing a tape of them recalling what was happening. They said they couldn’t speak, their insides filling with blood, as they were saying this the bag was filling with the same. The other person was slowly falling to the same effect.

This paper has the exact same make-up as the original is painted on - 100% α-cellulose. Acid- and lignin-free. There is a visible structure to the paper which gives a textured look and feel close to the original.
It is certified ISO 9706. Which means it conforms to museum quality for the highest age resistance.
I scan the original (not photograph) so it is as accurate as can be. Including all the oily lumps and strokes of the originals. And then If it’s needed I colour-correct on a colour-accurate studio monitor with the original in front of me.
